Breeding male vs female

Hi,

I am attempting a very simple cross between Afghani Kush and Finola Hemp just for fun.

My goals are to see if;
1. It's going to make an autoflower plant.
2. Make a strain lower in thc and maybe with some cbd


Might give me crap results but i just want to try to breed something for the sake of it and thought this could be something cool to try as i am quite lightweight.

Now i have one question: Is it better to herm my afghani kush mother( with colloidal silver) and bring it's pollen on a female hemp plant OR use hemp pollen(herm or true male) and bring it on a afghani kush flower? Does it matter?

thanks

If the afghan kush you’re using is a photoperiod crossing it with the finola(or any auto) will result in about half the progeny being auto and the other photo. Breeding autoflowering genes into photoperiod lines takes several generations to have consistent auto offspring. Good luck

nice to know! looking forward to pheno hunting next year

I actually crossed an autoflowering strain with a photoperiod strain during the 2019 season. All six of the children ended up being autoflowers, which irritated me because I only crossed the two because I wanted to get seeds from my female Purple Punch plant.

To be fair, the autoflowering plant was a feral variety that was found growing by a creek in my neighborhood. It might be different if you use a domesticated variety.
